A house on my block is owned by the United States of America.
So there was this guy that owned three houses on my block and he was using them to grow and store pot. I have the most hippyish stoner-rific neighborhood ever. Anyway so the government busted him somehow and they took his houses. I felt kind of bad for him although I never really met him. This was a while ago and apparently one of the houses hasn't gotten sold yet or something because I was rummaging through the central appraisal district website for my neighborhood -- we're trying to organize a historic conservation district and I need to figure out who all the owners vs. renters are, it's a big chore. Anyway, so right there, big as life, on this house, is: OWNER: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Ok, that's probably a boring and pointless story but it's not something you see every day. :silly:

3. I was just thinking about that.
Maybe I'll go over and see if there's a board or a piece I want. I'm a taxpayer after all. :silly:
